Monica di Sardegna

About the wine

Monica di Sardegna is a versatile DOC covering the entire island of Sardinia, centered on the indigenous Monica grape. Historically linked to the island's viticultural traditions, the wine is known for its approachable, medium-bodied profile. It typically presents a ruby red color that shifts toward amaranth with age, offering an intense, ethereal bouquet and a palate that can range from dry to amabile (semi-sweet), characterized by a distinct, pleasant sapidity. The DOC includes standard, 'Superiore', and 'frizzante' typologies, making it a flexible companion for a wide array of local cuisine, including cured meats, roasted white and red meats, and game. The production relies on the island's diverse geological landscape—ranging from granite and schist to limestone and basalt—and a Mediterranean climate tempered by the constant influence of the Mistral wind, which ensures healthy grape development.
